Hi,

I have created custom posts (job vacancies) each job vacancy has an apply now button which links to a gravity forms application form.

I want to add a single line field to the application forms that dynamically populates with the title (custom post title) of the job vacancy being applied for.

Is there a merge tag or way of achieving this?

Hi Sharon

You can either pass the title (or any other field from the vacancy post) to the Gravity Form dynamically using URL parameters or shortcode attributes, as described here: hidden link, depending on how you are creating the links to your form.

You can generate the required parameter with a Views shortcode for the title, something like this if you are linking to a page with the form:

<a href="site.com/page-with-form/?vacancy=[wpv-post-title]>Apply</a>

Btw, you should use the professional support forum for more prompt attention.
